Throwback MOTD!

Throwback MOTD!

For this look I have used the Violet Voss Holy Grail Palette on my Eyes. I have swatched the eyeshadows in a previous post for you guys!


The eyelashes in wearing are from @lapaigetrends on Instagram in the name ROSIE! Her eyelashes are INSANE!!! I will review them in a later post too!


The glitter I have on my eyelid is Midnight Cowboy from Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liners, The eyeliner is from @Tartecosmetics and the Nails are from @Hudabeauty All from Instagram! Hope you all love the look as much as I do <3

Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liners


These eyeliners are perfect to add a pop of colour on the eyelids! The best thing is to add a line on top of your black eyeliner to take the eye look to whole new level! The longevity of these Urban Decay glitter liners is amazing! they do actually last all day. It doesn't move or transfer at all! The brush to apply it with isn't that brilliant but about 3/4 coats in the same place with the brush gives a perfect, even finish! 

The colours are: 

ACDC which is a medium-dark purple glitter with reddish tones. 
AMP which is a mix of lighter and darker blue, green and teal green.
DISTORTION which is an iridescent mix of glitter, so it flashes greenish, gold, fuschia, pink and blue.
GLAMROCK which is a silver glitter.
JUNKSHOW which is a mix of fuschia, dark pink a few bits of gold.
SPANDEX which is a mix of black, fuschia, navy blue and glitter.
MIDNIGHT COWBOY Which by the way is my FAVOURITE is a warm toned, golden beige glitter. This colour is actually sold out everywhere inc the website and is really hard to get hold of which is upsetting!

Below is a look I created, hope you like it xx









Sex On Fire - Charlotte Tilburry Blush Swish and Pop


When it comes to blusher I love pinky tones my actual favorite was Dianty from MAC But then I came across the Sex On Fire in Selfridges from Charlotte Tilburry and I have to say its my new FAV!!!! With the swish and pop method it gives my cheeks a healthy glow and makes me look even more youthful lol 

It retails at £30 which some may find quite expensive, but it has a fill of 8g which is quite a lot of product! The colour is actually build-able and blends into the skin perfectly. There are actually 6 shades from this collection to choose from but this one by far was the best for me :-)




Aqeela Choker Necklace


Lets just stop and take a moment to appreciate how beautiful this necklace called Aqeela is! It came in a black cardboard box with a velvet underlay finish as seen in the picture. The necklace is really breathtaking, iv wore it on several occasions now and love it. It fits on the neck like a choker and sits perfectly without moving or causing any discomfort. I didn't even realize I had it on. It was £20 plus postage and was purchased from SapphireBlue on Instagram/Facebook. Massive Thumbs Up from Me!!!!! (A video of this choker is up on my Instagram +Makeup By Uzma Shahzad 

SheBelievedBangle


* She Believed She Could So She Did!*

This absolutely beautiful silver bangle was sent to me by @Shebelievedbangle on Instagram. Its really pretty and elegant at the same time. It came in a black velvet pouch which was ever soo soft to the touch. The only thing which I  found was when I wear the bangle it slips off as its too big for my arm/hand, my arms are super skinny! I will still keep it as a display piece though as its supporting a great cause supporting equal education opportunity for young girls and women in third world countries!

Oils Of Life (The Body Shop)


Well Hi there, it seems like AGES since I have wrote a review but I have been really busy with my children, going out, parties and work that I didn't really have time. I was really going off a couple of hours sleep, which isn't good at all, so I did have a couple of days in between where I did absolutely NOTHING! Whoop! Just Netflix & Chill...

Anyway I'm reviewing the Oils of Life from The Body Shop which I bought a while back, I had it in the back of the cupboard and left it whilst i tried other products. It was for £28 which one can find a wee bit expensive, I bought it straight up though as i did hear good reviews about it. The crap thing is that no discount can be used against buying this oil, for example my network is with o2 and they have o2 priority which allows you to use coupons or discount and The Body Shop is on there to have a 35% discount, when I went to buy the oil thought I was told it is excluded from any offers! Blah!

The shape of the bottle is like a little like a pair and you have to squeeze the top for the oil to go into the tube and squeeze again to release the oil onto the face. A little oil does go along way. 

Since having my baby nearly 10 weeks ago (time flies) my face skin had become really dry and flaky. I didn't know why it did that I would always moisturise and my routine was exactly the same as before, which was washing my face with Simple Kind to Skin Facial Wash Gel every night before bed. As my skin start playing up I stopped using that and switched to the Nivea Range, the 2in1 Cleanser & Toner was suppose to b amazing for flaky skin. Again after using it it didn't work. I tried other oils like Bio Oil too, It failed! That's when I remembered I have the Oils of Life in my drawer, so I got it out and decided to put it to use.

The Oils Of Life is made from 99% natural origin oils. They are cold pressed oils which are quickly absorbed by the skin which leaves it plump and hydrated, something which my skin was in desperate need of! It is suppose to help fight signs of ageing (not that I'm old) and make the skin feel revitalized, more elastic and firmer. It also helps to lock moisture and nutrients into your skin making you look and feel fresher. 

For me i has been nearly a week using it and I can see a difference already, when I wake up my skin is NOT flaky and feels really Fresh. I'm absolutely loving the oil and how its helping my skin. My makeup application looks more even too!  My Nivea & Simple range of facial masks and toners I threw in the bin. I'm sticking with this oil now and will carry on using it In Sha Allah. 

Definitely recommend :P

The BFG


Heyyy. Today was movie day with my little babbies and niece. They wanted to watch The BFG, So that's what we watched. It started and about the first half an hour I was finding the movie difficult to enjoy and understand. Mark Rylance who plays the BFG was talking nonsense, baffling his words but throughout the movie it did get better. There were 2/3 scenes where I did literally LAUGH OUT LOUD!

 It is a very magical story.

My 8 yeah old son and 6 year old daughter enjoyed it but my 4 year old daughter got very impatient, repeatedly asking, 'is it finished yet?' Personally I would rate it a 6/10.

Violet Voss - HOLY GRAIL


F I N A L L Y! Wow is the only word I have for this absolutely amazing palette. So this is the Violet Voss Holy Grail Palette. I have had my eyes on this for a couple of months now, and was something I knew I would buy when available. The thing was I would always miss out and find out too late that BeautyBay have stocked the palette. It is so popular WORLDWIDE that it literally gets sold in hours!
What I did then, I turned on Post notification on my instagram (MAKEUPBYUZMASHAZAD) for BeautyBay and Shopvioletvoss and also watched their snap chats religiously so I knew when the palette was to be restocked! Yesterday morning i received a notification from Beauty Bay to say they have socked the holy grail. I ordered it straight away and to my surprise today, I received it in the post! Bloody AMAZING... Made my day it did and at £35 you cant go wrong considering I had a quote for £70 2 months ago for the same palette. I waited and it worked in my favour. I took the palette out the box and it is really lightweight, and easy to handle. Its a slim rectangular shape made out of cardboard with a beautiful font displaying its name. Inside are the 20 highly pigmented colours which are beautiful, and have different finishes. On the flip of the lid is a mirror to! Below are swatches of the colours inside the palette.


From right to left we have, Crystal, Ploof, Thanks A Latte, Transition & Hashtag.


From right to left we have, Awesome Sauce, Bestie, Toffee , Chill & How U Doin


From right to left we have, Bat My Eyes, Cool Beans, R U Kitten Me, So Jelly & On Fleek


From Right to left we have, Brownie Points, Teddy Bear, Glamping, Cranberry Splash & Wine&Dine.

I have to say So Jelly is my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE, the swatches do not give the colours any justice at all. I hope when I do try these on myself or my clients the colour payoff is amazing on the eyes just as it is on my arm. The texture does look soft and they were easy to blend on my arm but lets see. I do love it from what I have seen so far so a massive thumbs up from me! I do recommend it but buy it from BeautyBay where you can get it at a decent price! x

PHILIPS Lumea Advanced IPL



After weeks of researching which IPL Laser machine I should buy, I came across the Philips Lumea. I have heard great reviews from friends & family too. So I decided to buy. I went into Boots and ordered it there with a lady behind the counter who was really helpful indeed. I was lucky because Boots had their triple points offer on for that weekend which I was unaware of  until I paid for the IPL machine. I received £75 worth of FREE points! How amazing was that. I was like Whhhaaatt? Are You For Real??!! But yeah, she was for real because on my receipt it also said Points worth £75. Not bad at all hey!

So, If you are looking into buying an IPL machine or anything with a hefty price tag, buy on the day Boots has their triple points offer on because you could too reap some amazing points! Whoop.

The IPL Machine is quite sturdy to hold and doesn't slip in the hand which is good because you dont want it your lasering your face and it drops down half way :/ It also comes with 3 different head attachments. One for the body, one for the face and one for the bikini area. Its the complete solution to stay hair free! The window on the attachments is large making the application faster. I tried it on my face and it is really gentle on my skin and I can smell hairs burning whilst in use. So i'm sure its doing what it says it is suppose to. I will wait for 2 weeks before trying this again and in the meantime see how the growth of hair is on my arms and legs. It has been 3 days and so far no hair, which is brill!

The really good thing is that is has a really long cord so you can move around and you are not restricted to stand or sit in one place.

This machine will NOT work on really dark brown or black skin tone as it isn't designed for that, and it will also NOT work on red,grey or yellow hair. If you don't fall in to that category then you are absolutely fine. I will write another review in 2 weeks time to tell you how I got on with the Philips Lumea, I really do hope it doesn't dissapoint.

NYX Lingerie Liquid Lipstick


So, I went out to Boots and bought these 4 Shades of NYX Lingerie Liquid Lipsticks. I have wanted to get my hands on these for a while, but they was always sold out! Today was the day! I was super excited. 
Initial thought when I bought them was, I love the packaging and there's a lot of product in the tube for £6.50 compared to other liquid lipsticks. You really do get your monies worth. The colours do look the same but if you take a closer look they are very different. 
The texture is really smooth and glides on the lips, if you ever heard the saying, 'its soft like butter!' Well this liquid Lipstick is the perfect example for that, its creamy and fluffy at first when you apply.
 When applying to the lips, you have to be very fast and precise as it will dry matte quite quickly. I used a lipstick brush aswell as the applicator wand. 
The smell however, is really foul, it smells like wallpaper paste, as well as being a makeup artist, I decorate my own home too, I have put wallpaper on all around the house so wallpaper paste is something I am very familiar with and that's what the smell of these reminded me off! Not Good!


Above are the swatches of the 4 colours I purchased, I really do believe I purchased the best colours out the whole range! From left to right, Corset, Bedtime Flirt, Lace Detail and Push Up. Below is my all time FAVOURITE colour in LACE DETAIL! NYX have totally smashed the colour range of these liquid Nude Lipsticks. I LOVE THEM!


The liquid lipstick will stay on throughout the day without the need to touch up, however after you have had something to eat or drink it will wear off from the inside of the lips, and slightly crack! What I also noticed was that throughout the day when you rub your lips together, your lips do stick which then causes the lipstick to transfer from the top to bottom, or bottom to top causing cracks and leaving patches in you lips, which then you will have to reapply. It will feel like you have nothing on your lips until you rub them together.

I would recommend these and will say the more you layer the more it cracks on your lips, so keep it minimal and pout away! X

SKINNYCOFFEECLUB - 28 Day Weight Loss Programme



Before I start let me just say if you are interested and want to try, you can use my code UZMASHAHZAD20 at the checkout of your order on skinnycoffeeclub.com to get a sweet discount. No need to thank me :)

Lets start of with me most important thing first, ME:) I absolutely love coffee. I have drank it every morning for about 10+ years an have to drink it every morning as it has become somewhat an addiction. Coffee each and every day without fail for me. I am still very young at 27 and have had my 5th baby. I am very conscious about my weight in general but throughout my pregnancy I did pile it on, I use to eat and eat & drink and drink! I didn't care about the aftermath, I was just hungry, craving sugar and more sugar. I was 12.5Stone but turned a blind eye. 

After having a beautiful, healthy boy and relaxing a little I thought its time to control what im eating and drinking to loose the FAT! Luckily, SkinnyCoffeeClub contacted me though Instagram and asked me to become their ambassador, this is where they send me their product for free each month and I review it, fairly simple. I jumped at the opportunity, Why? Because it couldn't have been a better time, I love coffee and  wanted to loose weight! PERFECT.

The package arrived just before Eid, but I started 1 week after. I mentally prepared myself for this 28 day challenge as its the first time ever I would diet properly and cut back the sugary food.

Day 1 - I made the coffee in my cup and was very skeptical' about taking the first sip, I did and to my surprise I loved it, I didn't even add almond milk or sugar! I followed the diet plan but did not exercise. By the end of the day I was really energetic and felt good but I felt hungry. Even though I did eat my meals, HEALTHY meals, I felt like I had starved myself all day! I guess I need to train my body into eating less!

Day 2 - Drank the coffee (Loved it) Again full of energy but feeling hungry at the same time, I just ignored my hunger because I knew I am eating and keeping hydrated. 

Day 3 - I was dying of a really bad migraine and I was really cold :( I still had the coffee and followed the meal plans. I had the central heating on blast, 2 jumpers and socks on. I do NOT think it was the coffee that made me like that, what I do think it was the DRASTIC change of diet, my body is not use to healthy eating and small portions so that's when it really hit home to me that, this is really a challenge but i wasn't about to give up.

Day 4 - I was recovering, Alhamdulillah! The only thing that got me through was thinking about day 7, which was CHEAT Day! Yay! Another day where I followed the eating plan, this day I did not exercise.

Fast forward to day 7 and I had lots of mouth watering food to eat, it was the best ever! I felt so energized and I lost 5 pounds which is actually AMAZING news because i didn't exercise in between either. I'm super proud of myself and will carry this on until I have achieved my desired weight loss. This is the first time ever I have stepped onto a scale to weigh myself!

Nothing is easy, it takes pure hard work, commitment and pure dedication to accomplish what you really want in life!

So, a lot of people have asked me 'What Is It & What does it do?' Well basically the 28 Day programme is a revolutionizing weight loss programme in which the coffee has been formulated to burn fat,increase metabolism, increase motivation and energy, reduction of bloating, boost antioxidants and is very organic! It is also vegan friendly and no hidden toxic chemicals.  It does decrease hunger to, but for me i was still very hungry, but i have noticed that through out the week i was feeling less and less hungry. 

You can find  more information on their website skinnycoffeeclub.com. In the meantime will carry on drinking the coffee and exercising and I will keep you all informed on my progress, keep a look out for that!





DOSE Of COLOURS - Eyedeal Duo Loose Pigment&Primer DISCO


Tonight I am reviewing this cute little pot of goodness. Dose of Colours Eyedeal Duo Loose Pigment&Primer in the colour DISCO. My favourite from the full set of 13. Its in a white colour pot which flips open from the top and screws off from the bottom. Its a 2in1, which is handy when it comes to making colours pop! There's no messing about here. It can slip into your hand, purse or makeup bag as its a perfect size of 0.14oz. 


As I love pigments, sometimes it can be a wee tricky getting the product to stay on the eyelid, but what I found using Eyedeal Duo Loose Pigment&Primer, is that it stayed on! And the colour payoff was brilliant! I first used the primer with my finger and packed it onto my eyelid, then added the right amount of sparkle also with my finger on top of the primer. Below are swatches, the one on the right is the primer, and the one on the left is with added sparkle! This was just 1 coat. Yes, that's right ONE coat. it looks so magical. 

I would definitely recommend this, they did release in January 2016 and you can purchase from their direct website. Happy shopping!

ABH Highlighter in Riviera


Heyyyy!!! As we know EVERYONE is highlight crazy these days, glowing brighter and brighter, its like you cant go out until you have your glow on! I finally got my hands on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Illuminator in Riviera. First thought was, finally I have this! At £28 I did find it a tad expensive but my, my, it was totally worth it! 

Riviera is a copper like tone with a plum undertone, it gives off a metallic finish and is neither powdery or dry. As you can see in the picture above the detailing is ever so beautiful, I didn't want to use it at first but I eventually did.

 For those girls who don't like their cheeks to pop just make sure you blend it out well or use it with a ever so light hand as it will make all the difference! And, if you do want your cheeks to pop, just keep applying more and more. It totally depends on your own preference.

The only downfall I would say about this Illuminator is that when highlighting the face, do not put it on the center of the nose, I did this on my client and when I took her pictures, her nose looked bruised from the center where I applied the highlight. When I removed it and took her picture without a highlight on her nose, it looked a million times better! Again, its preference, some of you ladies,men might like that look.

I would rate it a 9/10 and would recommend to family and friends. If you have this or any other Illuminator from ABH what are your thoughts? Which one is your favourite? Do feel free to leave a comment and I hope you enjoyed reading this review!

Lime Crime VENUS PALETTE


I am really excited to review this palette for you today! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this and the colours inside are just magical. The perfect Neutrals & Rusty Reds. The packaging is really eye catching and UNIQUE with a roman goddess on the front. Its really colorful too, which makes it stand out! There is a good size amount of eyeshdow too, so it is value for money!


The palette consists of 8 eye shadows which are like warm, earthly tones, including, rusty reds, oranges & browns. The Colours are: VENUS - A gorgeous, burgundy, Red. The finish is not completely matte but just as good as! SHELL- A beautiful peachy, coral shade with a shimmery finish. Aura - A shimmery Pearl shade which will look AMAZING as a brow bone highlight or inner corner glow! CREATION - A matte, rusty, reddish brown which has a slight sheen/satin finish. ICON - A nice chocolate brown which gives of a matte finish. REBIRTH - A breathtaking, bright coral shade. This shade is really pigmented and brightens the eye look wherever applied. DIVINE - A dusty stone shade, perfect to use as a transition colour on any look. MUSE- A deep burgundy red which gives of a matte finish! My favorite color from the whole palette!!!



The shades are super easy to blend together when creating an eye look and do not look chalky or ell powdery! There is a little fall out when applying to the eye but that dos not matter because when applying to the eye your still getting a good amount of product on there, as well as it falling. That's the only CON I can think of to be fair. Overall, i would definitely recommend this palette  to you all its a good investment, even though it does not cost much at all. Below, is a eye look i created using this palette... do let me know what you think. I would love to hear your views! (In the inner corner of my eyes, I have used Mary Lou Manizer)


(By the way, I had an absolutely amazing eid yesterday! and I was right I did not get a chance at all to take a selfie of myself, so i'm super glad I created & posted the eid eye look when I did! Whoop Whop!)

Eid Day Makeup - MOTD


EID MUBARAK Lovelies! Yes, its Eid tomorrow where all the family will gather together and share presents, money and eat delicious, mouth watering food! Its one of the best time of the year where everyone takes time out from the daily grind to enjoy each others company and just basically chill. I'm really excited myself as I haven't left the house in over a month due to having a baby and recovering at home! I feel slightly weak still as it was baby number 5, but boy, am I ready to PARTY tomorrow!!! Eeeeeeekkkkk!!!!!

So as I have my hands full and know I don't have time to waste tomorrow morning getting ready, I decided to create an eye makeup look for eid day so I know exactly what I will be doing and how. Above is the look I created, the clothes I will be wearing are a chilled green with silver embelishments, so I did want green and silver on my eye lid.

I filled my brows with Dipbrow Pomade in Dark Brown from Anastasia Beverly Hills, this is a must because I literally have NO brows :( There's a story behind why I don't but I will leave that for another day!) I then went in with Semi Sweet as a transition colour from the TOOFACED Chocolate Bar Pallete. I then added MAC Kelly and Deep End from Urban Decay eyeshadow in the crease and started to build intensity to get my desired colour. I added Nylon from MAC in my inner corner and under my brow bone! I then went in with Electra from MAC in the center of my eyelid and topped silver glitter on top from Stargazer. I then lined my eye with Tarte Tartiest Eyeliner with a small wing. I'm not a wing type of girl but these days I am actually LOVING the winged look! I added Huda Beauty eyelashes in FARAH and added Nyx Eyeliner in 'Milk' in my waterline! And voila, my look for eid... here is a closer look...


I hope you all love my look as much as I do! Any feedback is most welcome and if you are celebrating Eid I hope you have a smashing day!!! <3

Makeupgeek Eyeshadows Review



I love trying new brands for eye shadows and blushers, so I purchased these absolutely gorgeous looking eye shadows from Makeupgeeks website! When they arrived I found that I had to pay a further sum of £21 customs to get my parcel :( I was not happy about that, as you can imagine!!!

The colour payoff is INSANE! As you can see in the picture above, these are the foiled eye shadows and it is a raw pic so you can see for yourself after swatching once what it looks like.  The top four are by far my favorite. The names for them are, from right to left, Whimsical, Grandstand, Magic Act & In the Spotlight.

The eyeshadows blend like butter and are super easy to work with. Would i recommend them? Hell yes!

I would advise to purchase them from BeautyBay as it works out cheaper, delivery is free from them if you spend over £30 and most of all BeautyBay is UK Based! I did not know about BeautyBay until recently so unfortunately I ended up paying more than double for my purchase. The foiled eye shadow pans retail at £7.95 for a generous amount of product.The normal eye shadow pans retail at £4.95. Note, these are prices of BeautyBay and not of Makeupgeeks official website.



Above are some more swatches, from right to left, Cupcake, In the Spotlight, Whimsical, Cinderella, Magicact, Twilight, Grandstand, Bitten & Corrupt!

If you have already tried them, let me know what you think & which colours are your favourite!

The Balm - Mary Lou-Manizer


Ladies!!! And Gentlemen of course, this is a MUST have! The pigmentation is surreal, ever so rich and gives of a glow that makes you shine like a GODDESS! It blends so easily whether you apply to your cheekbones or if your using it as a brow bone highlight, it will have you poppin'! The colour payoff is vibrant and if you want to get an even vibrant glow, spray some fix plus on to your face then apply. It comes in a circular tin like shape and how cute is the packaging. It Looks Appealing and professional to. I have used mine a numerous of times and it still looks brand new, so you are getting your moneys worth here!

Lets just take a moment to appreciate the highlighter in the picture below...


The best thing is that it has a mirror along the top, so you can definitely highlight on the go to make sure your fleeky AF throughout the day. Its such a super cute size and can slip into a handbag, makeup trolley or even your purse! I carry mine in my makeup bag.

In the following picture I have used MaryLou-Manizer Highlight in the inner corner, it gives off a gold finish with yellow like undertone, a very similar product to this is either MAC Nylon or KRAYLON Goldglow, I have both and you can use them as dupes but my go to out of all 3 is deffo Mary-Lou!
Rating Out Of 5 Is Definitely 5!

Vera Mona Colour Switch Duo


Today I'm reviewing the Color Switch Duo which i have had for quite a while now. I was very spectacle about whether it would work and if I should buy. I did end up buying it and guess what guys it actually does work!!! I love it and have to carry it in my kit without fail.

Inside the color switch duo there are coarse sponges that when pressed against it in a back and forth motion with a makeup brush, it removes any previous product from the bristles without using a liquid cleaner or actually washing the brush. This does NOT mean that you do not wash your brushes, its to use when you have limited brushes available or are on back to back bookings.

The one have is the Color Switch Duo which has a smaller white sponge in the middle which is to be used wet if you want to enhance eye shadows or pigment. 

It comes in a very lightweight tin which does not take much space in my kit. The packaging looks very professional and not like cheap tat! A few people have said to me that 'you can buy a hair doughnut for £1 and it does the exact same job! All your paying for is the tin its in!' Well to start off, if I was to swirl my brushes in front of my clients on a hair doughnut I think they would be worried and secondly I go for quality over quantity ANY day! It looks professional and smart!

The price of the Duo Color Switch retails around the £20 mark, although some people may find this a ridiculous price for a sponge in a tin, on the other hand other people will love the concept, like me.

Overall Rating 5/5

JimmyChoo Eau De Parfum


My favorite smell! I took a chance buying this as I didn't smell it before hand and boy did I LOVE it! I Absolutely made the right decision. I cannot go a day without wearing it and smelling like a goddess!!! It has a dark, seductive yet fruity smell, almost hard to explain. The scent lasts for days and even when my clothes come out the laundry I can smell Jimmy Choo <3 Oh, The Joy!!! Definitely a must have for all you girls. (Nails in Burgundy from ShopHudaBeauty)

Anastasia Beverly Hills - GLOW KIT - THAT GLOW!




Hey you gorgeous, as we ALL know there was and still is a hype about Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kits! ABH released 2 Kits THAT GLOW which i have and the other GLEAM! I didn't buy GLEAM as it swatched silvery and pink which i thought looked more like blushers rather than highlighters, so i avoided buying it. THAT GLOW on the other hand, I absolutely fell in love with it straight away. It took a while to get my hands on it as it was sold out in most places. I then one day checked BEAUTYBAY who had it in stock so i ordered not one BUT two! (Oh Happy Days!)(Nails in PromQueen @Shophudabeauty.com)




The palette includes four warm toned shades that range from pale buttery gold to copper. The removable palettes are a decent size but are currently only sold together. Sunburst (top left) is a light, yellow gold with a warm undertone and me personal favorite. Golden Bronze (top right) is a medium, dark golden bronze with a warm undertone. Bubbly (bottom left) is a light medium, golden beige with a warm undertone and Dripping in Gold (bottom right) is a light, medium yellow gold with warm undertones. All four shades glide on the skin like butter with a great color payoff. You don't need much product on the brush either to get a good highlight going and it lasts for hours!!! It lasted all day for me personally and going into the night until I wiped it off myself. A little does really go a long way.




As you can see the color payoff is absolutely gorgeous, and that was just one swatch over the top of the highlighters. The palette is priced at a reasonable price and is most definitely value for your money. 

I hope you find this review helpful as it is my first time and keep a look out for more reviews! :)
